Bella POV
I cringed as Charlie screamed and shouted at Edward and I, okay he totally laid into Edward and all but repeatedly hit him over the head with the remote for the TV. I tried to listen, but Edwards smile was making it hard to concentrate on my father's anger when he was all but cheering. I smiled to knowing just how happy this had made Edward, and even happier when I realised Charlie wasn't going to ruin this for him. He had been waiting so long to be a father, and I was thrilled to be carrying his child. Charlie would have to just accept it.
"Why are you smiling, this isn't funny!" Charlie screamed. My mother couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips and Charlie went into full blown rage mode.
"You told me you were not pregnant when you said you were marrying him." He continued to shout.
I sighed, "Dad I wasn't... well I didn't know I was..."
"So you!" He shouted at Edward, "You couldn't keep it in your ants for three weeks until you were at least married?"
Edward was about to respond when I stood up, cutting my father off, more tears rolling down my cheeks.
"We all know your view on my getting married dad, but I don't understand why you just can't be happy for me... you know what forget it, I can't live here if you can't accept this baby." I shouted and ran out of the room.
Edward POV
I stood up to follow Bella anxiously, she was upset and I was concerned she would do something she would regret later. Like moving out and falling out with Charlie so close to the wedding, after all, she needed him to walk her down the aisle.
"Down here Cullen." Charlie roared after me but I ignored him. I knocked gently on Bella's door hearing her crying inside. I could hear her throwing clothes around and sniffling. I knocked harder this time.
"Go away Edward." She sobbed.
"Bella open the door come on." I said gently. It was slightly annoying that I couldn't open the door by force because I was supposed to be a human. It was even more annoying that a piece of flimsy wood was what was standing in-between me and my clearly upset fiancée.
Being a secret vampire was just so inconvenient.
"Bella." I said firmly.
There was a shuffling and the lock clicked open. I pushed the door open gently to see her stood facing me, held in her hands, body shaking with tears. I sighed and wrapped my arms around her, my hand that wasn't holding her tight smoothing her hair. My lips touched her temple and she sniffed into my chest.
"Can we go to your house please?" She swallowed.
I nodded, "Come on, but you have to promise to calm down yeh?" I whispered, dipping my knees to look into her eyes. She nodded and took my hand firmly. She went to walk away when I held her tight, my hand stroked her cheek and she smiled a watery smile at me.
"And you're sure you are both okay?" I asked gently and she took my other hand, resting it on her stomach.
She sighed softly, "We're both fine Edward."
I kissed her forehead and she led me downstairs gently. I took my keys from the coffee table by the front door and was about to leave when Renee walked out of the living room, her thoughts telling me Charlie was sat ashamed on the sofa. I knew it was wrong to feel the way I did about my soon to be father in law, but he had upset Bella and was refusing to acknowledge his grandchild, my child. Therefore part of me could find just reason in being mad at him.
I tensed when she walked forwards to Bella but my love ducked out of the way.
"I'll be back late mum." She whispered and walked towards the Volvo, I sighed and went to follow but Renee caught my arm.
"Can you try and talk to her, it won't do her nay good to fall out with Charlie... not over something like this." She whispered but her eyes betrayed the thoughts she felt, and in my opinion, she was no between than Charlie.
At least he was man enough to be truthful to Bella about what he felt.
"With all due respect Renee, she needs her mother's support right now... don't you think." I said and looked pointedly at her hand on my arm. Renee swallowed and her thoughts floundered around the fact she'd been caught."
"Goodbye." I said dryly and shut the door behind me, climbing into the Volvo to see Bella sat with err feet on the dashboard, both her hands on her stomach.
I sighed and shut the door behind me, looking over at her and taking one of her hands in mine.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" I asked quietly. It was obvious to me how much of a fantastic mother Bella would be, but I also knew that getting married had been a stretch for her, with her worrying about what people would say. Now she was to be proven right, that people would definitely only think we were getting married because she was pregnant.
If Bella didn't want this baby I certainly would not force her to have it.
She nodded, "I want this Edward, I want our baby."
I smiled at the way she said our, it made it seem more real, more final.
But of course I knew nothing was final, well except being changed, that was certainly final. But all the uncertainty's of human health made me frantic about my baby and Bella's health just thinking about it.
"Edward?" She asked quietly.
My eyes snapped up, "yes love?"
"Can we go now, I can see them watching and I can't..." More tears rolled down her face and I hushed her, leaning forwards to kiss her temple.
She yawned and leant her head on her shoulder. I pulled my jacket off the back seat and handed it to her. She wrapped it around her and moved her head to lean on her own jacket which she had folded into a pillow. She took one of my hands and placed it on her stomach under hers, holding it there gently.
"Go to sleep Bella." I whispered as I pulled out of Charlie's road.
"Ummm." Was the only response I got, this caused a smile to spread across my face.
I was going to be a dad!
